Prayer to Become a Better Student

Lord, remind me often through Your inspiration
of the obligations as a student.
Make me observant of the responsibility
which You have placed upon me.
I should make myself holy
through my work in school
and prepare myself for my task in this world.
Let me never forget what privilege it is
to be able to devote so many years of my youth
entirely to study when other youths of my age,
who are perhaps gifted than I,
must work in the fields or in a factory.
When I am tempted to find fault
with the shortcomings of others,
let me be humble and honest enough
to recall my own negligence
in performing my own duty.
Give me the courage to make up
for the countless moments
I have wasted in school.
Make of me a zealous student
who studies with a purpose,
reads with reflection, and
allows herself to be advised
by informed people
so that I may soon be an efficient worker
in the vineyard of Your creation.

Lupang Hinirang (National Anthem of the Philippines)
Bayang Magiliw
Perlas ng silanganan
Alab ng puso
Sa dibdib mo’y buhay.

Lupang hinirang

Duyan ka ng magiting

Sa manlulupig

Di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw
May dilag at tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y

Tagumpay na nagniningning

Ang bituin at araw niya’y

Kalian pa ma’y di magdidilim.

Lupa at araw, ng luwalhati’t pagsinta
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo.
Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.
